    What size advantage did Canelo give? He was the same weight as Bivol, he was bigger on the night lol.

      This is what its all about right here. When the truly great ones ran out of challenges they sought bigger ones.

      Floyd was content with going into every fight with all the advantages but of course Floyd boys are always down for low to no risk fights.

      They know Floyd spent the second half of his career ducking anybody who was a higher risk so they gotta steer everything to his lackluster points win over a shopworn Manny to make them feel better

        True, the truly great ones look to achieve higher even though they seemingly did the impossible already. Floyd on other hand knew he was criticised, yet didn't try to go above and beyond to silence critics.
        Yes, floyd fans hype the pac win up to the hills as they know floyd ducked all the strong underdogs, like thurman, spence, brook who had at least 45% chance of beating floyd. Floyd liked fighting the weaker underdogs who only had about 35% chance with floyd like berto, ortiz, gue rrero types

          I wouldn't give Thurman or Brook any more than a 30% chance of beating Floyd.

            May would be able to fight (and beat) guys like Horn (CPGW), Shot Margarito*, Shot Rios, Shot Algieri*, Shot Broner, Shot Lucas, Vargas, Desert Breeze 3x and not age a single day but Pac was shopworn

            So many WW cherries and not 1 Pac fan called him on it.

            ''ButButBut Thurman !!!!!''

            The worst version of.....A flash knockdown was the difference.

              So a bantamweight with a pocket full of stones is the same size as a WW, the point is dead weight, fat and fluid vs muscle, and there is your size differences.

                Floyd did that by going to 154 to fight 8ball dela lingerie, Cotto and Canelo at 152.

                By comparison, when did Manny do this? Going to 151 for Margs, who was 0-1-1 above 147? Cotto at 146?

                  Pacquiao fans are massive hypocrites.

                    They know it.
                    They avoid his resume like a tax audit.

                      Why these guys always trying to push some shopworn fighters who don't have any significant advantages
